Visy Line Right (VLR)
Automated Quality Assurance System
The Visy Line Right (VLR) Package Code Management system is capable of setting up entire production lines with the correct product and job data, including date codes. It is able to control all equipment and procedures centred around the packaging aspects of the factory.
How VLR works.
Each individual production line is controlled via a touch screen line terminal. The central database is replicated to each line terminal. In the event of network or server failure, production can still continue under the control of the VLR system. Local data is synchronised with the central database when the connection is restored to ensure an unbroken audit trail.

The VLR Product range:
VLR - PRO
VLR Pro operates on one or multiple production lines with a line-mounted HMI, connecting to up to five devices, such as labellers, inkjet printers, and scanners. VLR Pro stores product data and label templates in a local database. Operators can select a product to be packed from the HMI, synchronising all connected devices with the relevant data.
The line terminal sets up and controls all the equipment on the line – coding devices, barcode scanners, labellers, print & apply systems, check weighers, metal detectors, vision systems, palletisers etc. Operator can be removed from any line device reducing line set-up time and human error.
VLR-PRO, VLR-MANAGER, VLR-NETWORK
Single or multiple Production Lines where VLR-PRO is installed on a line mounted HMI and is connected to up to five devices such as labellers, ink jet printers and scanners. VLR-Network will hold product data in a network server database along with label templates.
An operator can choose a product to be packed from the HMI and all the connected devices will be loaded and synchronized with the associated data. Remote management of label database and label templates is possible from one or more remotely connected VLR-MANAGER PC/S.
Single or multiple production lines where VLR-PRO is installed on a line mounted HMI and is connected to up to five devices such as labellers, ink jet printers and scanners. VLR-PRO will hold product data in a local database along with label templates created in Nicelabel. An operator can choose a product from the HMI and all the connected devices will be loaded and synchronized with the associated data.
VLR-PRO-PLUS
Single or multiple Production Lines where VLR-PRO-PLUS is installed on a line mounted HMI and is connected to up to five devices such as labellers, ink jet printers and scanners. VLR-PRO-PLUS will hold product data in a local database along with label templates.
An operator can choose a product from the HMI and all the connected devices will be loaded and synchronized with the associated data. The VLR-PRO-PLUS features include capturing reasons for line stop downtime using predefined multiple choice options. Also, a full array of production line performance stats are available for display on HMI/Big Screen Panel or remotely connected VLR-MANAGER PC.
Daily and weekly reports can be exported for management review. Quality control form capture can be recorded at the HMI eliminating the need for a paperwork based system when QA checks are needed every shift / hour / etc.
